Focus on Self-Kindness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today is a good day to hole-up and focus on self-kindness. Bundle up with Me, cozied in and staying protected from the elements. You can still focus on self-care while working or attending to home-life because you and I are One. I am with you wherever you go and in whatever you are doing. Take your time. Slowing down to an easier pace will serve you well on this day of attending to better self-care. I call you to stay in close awareness of our tight, comforting relationship. My love for you is real, and we can take delight in togetherness today.

Your Great Companion

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are Mine, and I am your Great Companion keeping you on track. It is you who sometimes doubts that, not Me. Do you understand what being a companion means? I ask you to talk over plans, share intimate thoughts and details, laugh, cry, and share all of life together with Me. Are you fully with Me? Discover the joy that our companionship offers today and every day. You can take it one day at a time. Tell Me everything; don’t hold anything back. I will share the load and celebrate the accomplishments. Let’s live together in the moment.

I Leave Nothing Unattended

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take joy in your surroundings. Take time to really notice things, like the way the Light shines in, or how your tasks add to the beauty and order called for in this day. I leave nothing unattended. This can be a profound awareness that you must not take for granted. I am constantly aware of both the needs and concerns of all things, – orchestrating attentive responses. Try walking in a peaceful state of calm today trusting and knowing I have chosen your path and I am working in it with you.

Not In Harm’s Way

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you and I long for your safety and protection. I am not sending you to the wolves and will not allow you to be put in harm’s way. I will be watching for potential danger, taking your hand and guiding you on the right path. You are a grown person, full of competence and the ability to use good judgment. I trust that in you, and have entrusted a set of gifts which are needed in this fractured world. Others look to you for the same comfort and guidance I provide to you. You can handle it, for I give you nothing greater than what I equip you to do. My yoke is easier than you worry about.

Serve For My Good

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are My faithful servant. I want you to serve for My Good. My Good is when you touch the lives of others – sometimes in a passing hello, in more attentive conversations, and even in complicated activities. My Good abounds everywhere! Take some of it in for yourself today because I give My Good for YOU, too. I am not a demanding God who only asks you to serve. I don’t ask for your weariness or for you to over-extend yourself. Any day, in fact, you can receive from Me and I don’t consider it selfish for you to do so. My desire is for you to be replenished by My Joyful well.

To Endure the Storm of Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me whisper your name with a quiet, yet firm, reminder: I am here. Right here, right now, every step of the way. Even in the hard, rocky walk you may face. Put on sturdy shoes and the right jacket to endure the story of today. Let Me buffer you against the wind of challenges. Set your mind on a “can-do” mission, knowing you are partnered fully by Me.

Steeped in Gratitude

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s A-okay to receive the blessings I give you without feeling guilty, unworthy, or “too privileged”. I enjoy giving abundantly and freely. You are good at not taking things for granted. I love how appreciative you are when My comforts bring delight to you and your household. Stay Steeped in gratitude and combine it with trusting your inherent worthiness. I don’t want to hold back or dole out in small increments. Let Me lavish you. That’s how My Love works in this life. I know that in return you will be generous with others, as well.

Take One Step Only

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Why are you wound so tightly today? I am taking care of the details and the trajectory of your life. Take one step only. Just one at a time. Stop worrying about the big picture. I can help you concentrate on the present. Trust Me with the unfolding of the rest in due time.

Trying to Measure Up is Exhausting

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Truly, I urge you to take the pressure off. Subtly and pervasively, you have been ingrained to be constantly doing, ‘performing’, accomplishing, and ‘succeeding’. It must be exhausting, always trying to measure up to self-imposed standards of perfection. My expectations are radically different. Certainly I appreciate your effort, drive, and skills; but I also appreciate quiet time spent with Me, without agendas. Practice a spiritual aim of being present in the moment, and perhaps less time-oriented. Just “be”, and see the benefit of My peace descending as a result.

Chip Away at that Self-Critical Veneer

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

Keep listening. Listen harder, – deeper, – until the truth comes piercing through. My love for you craves to break down the walls your inner critic has built up, breaking through the shame, guilt, and regrets. The past is in the past. Let’s chip away at that self-critical veneer until you find yourself at peace within. Once you can accept and embrace yourself as someone worthy of attention, kindness, and love, you will be more at ease around and accepting toward others. Anxiety will melt away. You can make amends as needed, but you also don’t have to spend your life being so apologetic all the time. Seek peace and follow after it by assuming a posture of self-acceptance.
